The Powerful Beet Smoothie (Recipe)

Though many turn their noses up at beets recalling childhood memories of mushy pickled beets our grandmothers tried to force us to eat – beets have gotten somewhat a bad rap. Many people have never tried beets in their natural, raw state or as juice. Beets are wonderful smoothie additions adding color, fiber, flavor, and powerful nutrients.

The Nutritional Power of Beets

Not only are beets high in fiber but they are full of energy giving compounds and powerful nutrients. Rich in potassium and high in iron, beets help protect against cancer, high cholesterol, heart disease, and anemia. They are a good source of folate, have a wonderful blend of antioxidants, and are an excellent liver tonic and blood purifier. And it turns out, they’re pretty tasty too!
